Mark Forman

Mark Forman, PhD is a licensed clinical psychologist with twenty-five years experience working with individuals, couples, teens, and families. His text – A Guide to Integral Psychotherapy Complexity, Integration, and Spirituality in Practice – is one of the seminal works in the field of Integral Psychotherapy. He is more recently the author of The Monster’s Journey, a book which takes a look at trauma through the lens of Joseph Campbell’s Hero’s Journey. This book is a major inspiration for these gatherings.
